If a thief is selling your stolen car, would that not be very easy to locate by showing interest in buying it? Am I missing something?

A lot of people lack the ability to do or credibly threaten sufficient violence for that to be actionable. Serving all the details up to the cops, who have nearly infinite ability to threaten violence, on a silver platter "here's your open and shut auto theft case, now go pad your stats" is the more tractable solution.
